King Toad

This was also written during my cryptic phase. It is actually a heart-felt song about about people’s destruction of and seperation from nature, but I was probably embarrassed to write straight forward lyrics about that. The song consists largely of awful word plays, but they’re so veiled I doubt many will notice. An example of one: “Young man from apartment 24-D, the Lord paid you to visit me, now I can’t breathe” …Which means: my landlords hired someone to spray the yard with pesticides and herbicides; 2-4-D is a chemical that yards are commonly sprayed with; after the yard was sprayed, it stank like chemicals and made me feel sick. The whole song is written like that.
